[Bug 2127899] [NEW] Cannot import optparse or getopt with only python3.14-minimal installed

Public bug reported:

optparse in libpython3.13-minimal wraps the import of gettext in a
try/catch, but this seems to be missing from libpython3.14-minimal. This
causes an import error when importing optparse if gettext isn't
available. The same appears to be true for getopt.

** Affects: python3.14 (Ubuntu)
